Income protection that gives back to its policyholders

March 2018

Protect your savings while building a lump sum for your future.

What is income protection - and why does it matter?

Like everyone else, you have monthly overheads. Rent or mortgage payments, insurance premiums and the weekly food shop. You name it. But have you considered how you would cover your overheads if you were suddenly unable to work due to extended illness or injury? Nobody likes to consider the unexpected, but it can happen to anyone - from sports injuries to freak accidents to complex viruses.

Most employers have a limit on the amount of sick pay you can claim, if any. After that you are left to rely on the government’s Statutory Sick Pay: £92.05 per week^. Self-employed? You would need to apply for Employment and Support Allowance: £57.90 - £110.75 per week^ depending on your circumstances.

Be honest with yourself. Would those figures cover your monthly expenses? If not, you could find yourself denting your savings or applying for a loan. But with PG Mutual you can get cover for up to 70% of your income if you are unable to work through sickness or injury. So you can concentrate on getting better, with the peace of mind that your overheads are taken care of. And there’s more...

Protect your present, build for your future

Income protection with PG Mutual isn’t like other insurance policies. As a not-for-profit, they share their profits with their policyholders. When you join you will be assigned a capital account that they aim to top up year-on-year. PG Mutual even adds interest from their investments to help the pot grow faster.

Once your policy matures, the funds in your capital account can be paid to you as a lump sum. This lump sum could be free from income and capital gains taxes under current legislation (depending on your individual circumstances). No matter how many times you claim you will still receive a share of any profits they make.
